Beyond impressed with the two day stay I had at this hotel, I came during boxing week and upgraded to a suite for just 15$ ! The staff was beyond accommodating and kind from the minute I walked in, offering me a seat whilst I check my booking details , kindly checking my name preference and providing me guidance for parking and directions to my room. The room was clean , tidy , spacious with great channel access and utilities from a coffee machine and micro wave to an all inclusive shower including high end products from crab tree, the room service and house keeping were rapid ensuring my room was tidy by the time I returned from breakfast, the food was beautiful as seen. I had such a lovely precursor to the new year at this hotel and I’ll never forget how hospitable and welcome the staff made me feel, I felt as though I got the celebrity treatment without being one. Much love to this place and highly reccomend it for any getaway or break whether you’re looking for a place near the airport for travels or for leisure.

This is one of the most heartbreaking hotel experiences my family has ever gone through.
My sister arrived in Toronto just before midnight after a long day of delayed flights from Edmonton. She was alone, tired, and without phone roaming—only able to use airport Wi-Fi. Wanting to make sure she had somewhere safe to stay, I called this Hilton property myself, explained the situation in detail, and made a prepaid reservation for her. The booking agent from the hotel, added her as a second guest mistakenly.I trusted that she would be in good hands.
Instead, what happened was the complete opposite.
When she arrived, 20 minutes later, the hotel’s system was down. While that is understandable, what is not understandable is that every other guest was checked in manually—except my sister. For hours, she was left sitting in the lobby in the middle of the night, completely helpless, even though the hotel already had her reservation and even spoke to me multiple times on the phone confirming it.
The manager on duty, Alina, refused every attempt to help my sister:
– She refused to look at emailed proof of the reservation, saying they do not have internet and can`t check emails
– She refused a text message screenshot.
– She refused to make a simple phone call to me, even though my sister had no working phone, saying the phone did not work which was not true.
– She refused to help her book a new room, even if she paid twice
– She refused to check if the nearby Hilton Garden Inn had the same issue , saying they "only worried about their hotel"
– She refused to show even the smallest amount of empathy and any willingness to help.
My sister watched other guests get checked in while she was left alone and ignored for three hours, from midnight to 3 a.m. She felt humiliated, dismissed, and utterly uncared for—while I, on the phone, tried everything to help her from another city.
And the worst part? The phones did work—I called the hotel many times and got through every time. My sister saw the manager pretend to press buttons and hang up. I still cannot believe this level of coldness and refusal to help another human being.
What if my sister had been elderly? A mother traveling with children? A visitor who didn’t speak English? It is frightening to think of how others might be treated in the same situation. Would Alina had treated a member of her family the same manner she treated my sister?
The only light in this experience was a kind gentleman of asian descent, who happen to pick up my call, working that night who finally stepped in around 3 a.m., showed compassion, and helped her check in. I am grateful for him—but deeply disappointed and shaken by how the rest of the staff treated her.
No guest deserves to be treated this way. This experience has left us questioning the values and training at this Hilton location. I hope the company takes a serious look at what happened, because no one should ever feel scared, stranded, humiliated and ignored at a place that is supposed to make travelers feel safe.
